abstract = {This paper is focused on the development of an effective numerical method to simulate
bird-impact aircraft windshield events. A new Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) which has
been incorporated as a solver option into the explicit finite element program PAM-CRASH was
used to model the bird. The deformation between the numerical results and the experimental results
is in good agreement. Simulation results of a bird-impact process indicated that the SPH bird model
is more suitable to model the break-up of the bird into particles. Failure of the windshield in the
experiment was simulated, and the good agreement between the numerical and experiment indicates
that the failure model established in the present paper is reasonable. Finally, the energy changes of
the bird and the windshield were calculated.}
